“ Really good service and friendly staff food was great more pricey than other places. has to be the best or one of the best mexican foods around town definitely will go back again to try out more of their menu ”
“ I have eaten here with friends several times. This is a very casual restaurant. You stand in line and order your food from a menu on the wall with photos of each dish. Portions are generous, and the food is very well prepared. I have called ahead, and they graciously accommodated our group of 15-18. As with any well prepared food, it is not quick. This is a nice family-owned and operated place, and they have always made us smile. ”
“ I stopped here at the end of the night after a long drive and these tacos hit the spot. The guac was soupy and not "traditional", but it was still really good in its own way. Thank you for being so helpful even though you were close to closing! Very easy to get to from the highway, lots of parking, and super affordable. ”
“ A great find of a restaurant. The menu is authentic, hand-crafted Mexican cuisine, and it is very good. The parking lot is a little small, but inside is comfortable and casual. The menus are pictured and numbered on the wall, and you can grab your own beverage from the cooler; bottle cap openers in the case on the bottom. Seat yourself and the waitstaff is fairly quick, and the food comes out quickly as well. There is no pressure to leave. When you are ready head to the register and pay. I really love this place and am so glad I found it. Then only bad thing is I live in a another town. ”
“ It doesn’t get more authentic than this. Friendly and fast service. I had the asada Torta and it was really good. I appreciate the salsa verde in a squeeze bottle too. You won’t be disappointed stopping in here if you’re in the mood for Mexican. ”
